    We dined on the patio because indoors can be noisy, and everything was great. The food was excellent as was the service. We love dining outdoors when the weather permits, so the end of December was a treat, and the patio is never noisy. The prices are very reasonable. 39 Rue de Jean remains a gem in downtown Charleston with a unique character all its own!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Vincent Chicco’s tonight! We had the smoked mozzarella and the mushrooms as appetizers, which were amazing. Our entrées were delicious as well. The service couldn’t have been better, the ambience was great, and the noise level was perfect, so we could carry on a conversation at our table. Highly recommend it!
